Abramovic believes his club does not need to suffer for years before winning which I don’t think is a bad thing. His “no patience” style has won him 5 league titles, 5 FA cup, 1 Champions League, 2 Europa Cups, not to mention 3 charity shields/decorations.

Suffering to get results in football is overrated. Not only that, it is actually unnecessary and breeds weak mentality. Top top clubs world wide do not need to suffer to win trophies. Bayern, Real Madrid, Barca etc will not wait for years so they can build a team.

They are not academies. They are not Ajax. Waiting for decades is not a good attribute to have if you call yourself a big team. You give the United and Ole example. The truth is that the example can only be valid when he WINS.

Also, what stops a manager from winning immediately and also winning later? Win almost all the time is what is making some teams remain at the top almost all the time. Bayern Munich is a big club. A properly run club. Do you know how often they change managers?

Bayern have had 15 managers in the last 15 years or so. Where is the patience there. And if you are looking for properly run clubs, Bayern is right up there. Flick just won a treble. His job is not safe. Zidane’s job is not safe despite winning 3 UCL and 2 Leagues in 5 years.

Abramovic knows what he is doing. He wants trophies. That’s what top people do. I like Lampard. I liked him at Derby. I used him as an example of those that rolled up their sleeves to work starting from the lower leagues. I still wish him well but for now, he deserves the sack.
